george studied graphic and visual Communications at the
University of wolverhampton, graduating with First Class BA
Honors. His initial inclination towards graphics was pushed
aside when he started freelance work as a photojournalist
where he discovered a new love of photography. Upon moving
back to London he continued in photojournalism by shooting for
The Independent Newspaper and the Daily Telegraph.

Over the next 5 years he steadfastly built up his portfolio
containing his unique personal work. At the young age of 24,
he was given his first advertising commission for American
Express which catapulted george into his commercial career.
His images are described to be lyrical mosaics of line and color
with light and deep shadows that incorporate the nocturne and
its’ sense of mystery.
He uses the grand scale of the landscape to form graphic forms
of areas that have been designed and shaped by human usage.
His photographs often use the artifice of night to show the
surrealistic quality of contrast and unanchored forms, giving
an evocative other-worldliness to them.
george’s genius is in his calculated ambiguity and systematic
approach to design offering us a kind of timeless atmosphere
full of wonderment.
Since the start of his career some of his clients have included,
Financial Times, Independent Newspaper, Daily Telegraph,
Architecture Magazine, United Airlines, Mercedes-Benz,
Smirnoff, Orange Mobile, American Express and Shell Oil.
His images have been published in books to coincide with his
past exhibition for Arthur Andersen
